Ep 20: ALL QUIZ BONANZA! #4

Whew, there sure are a bunch of segments in our 4th All Quiz Bonanza show: Chris schools us on "bookkeeping" and crazy English words derived from Japanese, Karen has a mystery round (Mysteround?), Dana challenges us to a dance-off, and Colin made us a round of "Sports Trivia for Non-Sports Fans." And guess who's back? THE CRAZY SINGING ROBOT. 

ALSO: "backronyms," why Karen is mad at Siri, and one bizarre headline
